Lyrics
Very Precious Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ev'ry show must have a song
Most ev'ryone agrees
For what else could the ingenue
and the juvenile reprise
And so I wrote a random note,
a harmony or two
And when it came to add the words
I tried describing you
A very precious love
Is what you are to me
A stairway to a star
A night in Shangrilá of ecstasy
Lanterns of gold
Lanterns of blue
Twinkle in the shadows
While I dance with you
An echo in the wind
Across the summer lake
Is sayin' you should know
that lanterns lose their glow
and hearts can break
So hold me close my darling
then kiss me tenderly
And give your precious love
Your very precious love to me
